I didn't cry today I even smile today
When I heard someone say that you had passed his way
I guess you'd have to say I'm gettin' better
Then I heard our old song the hurt wasn't quite so strong
Maybe it won't be long till all of my hurt is gone
Then I know I'll live on I'm gettin' better
I know I wrote my promise to you I said I'd never get over you
But a man can't spend all of his life fightin' heartaches
And livin' with strife
For the time since I lost you I looked at someone new
Maybe she won't be true but darling neither were you
And that no longer makes me as blue I'm gettin' better
